Clinton calls Trump too unsteady, not qualified to be president

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton pivoted to a general election matchup against Republican candidate Donald Trump, saying he is dangerously unpredictable and not qualified to be president.

Confident that she is finally close to defeating US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont for the Democratic nomination, Clinton turned heavy fire on Trump, who has been running about even with her in national polls of voters looking ahead to the Nov 8 presidential election.

"I know hard this job is, and I know we need steadiness, as well as strength and smarts in it, and I have concluded that he is not qualified to be president of the United States," Clinton said.

Adele named songwriter of the year at Britain's Ivor Novellos

British singer Adele added to her list of many accolades, winning Songwriter of the Year at Britain's Ivor Novello Awards.

The 28-year-old, whose latest album, 25, shot up the charts around the world upon its release last year, received her third Ivor Novello - a music industry award recognising British and Irish song writing and composing.

However, Adele, who has several Grammy and Brit awards as well as an Oscar to her name, did not make it to the glitzy luncheon ceremony in London, where Blur's Damon Albarn picked up a Lifetime Achievement award.
